The broadcasters opted against showing last season's second match as Russell Martin's men secured a historic double. They thrashed Steve Morison's men 4-0 in the capital having emerged victorious by a score line of 3-0 on home soil earlier on in the 2021/22 season.

It was the first time a league double has ever been achieved in the 110-year history of the contest.

The second fixture between the sides this season at Cardiff City Stadium is currently scheduled to kick-off at 3pm on Saturday, April 1 next year.
